If a stockholder gives no address, notice shall be deemed to have been given him if sent by mail or other means of written communication addressed to the place where the principal office of the corporation is situated, or if published at least once in some newspaper of general circulation in the county in which said office is located.

Indemnification

Section 1. DISCRETIONARY INDEMNIFICATION. The corporation may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person (the “Indemnitee”) made or threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity at the request of the corporation or any predecessor of the corporation against judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid in settlement and costs, charges and expenses that he or she incurs in connection with such proceeding; provided that such indemnification may only be made if the Indemnitee is not liable under Section 78.138 of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or is determined to have acted in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation (and with respect to any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful).

Section 2. MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in Article IX Section 1, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses actually incurred in connection with the defense.

Section 3. ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The corporation will, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any Indemnitee the funds necessary for payment of expenses incurred in connection with defending any proceeding for which he or she is indemnified by the corporation, in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding; provided that the corporation has received the undertaking of such director or officer to repay any such amount so advanced if it is ultimately determined by a final and unappealable judicial decision that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

     Section 4. AUTHORIZATION. Any discretionary indemnification pursuant to Article IX Section 1, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Article IX Section 3, may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made (i) by the stockholders; (ii) by the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding; (iii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

     Section 5. INUREMENT. The right to indemnification will inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters that predate the adoption of this Article IX, will continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to hold the position by virtue of which he or she was entitled to indemnification, and will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs and personal representatives.

11


Section 6. OTHER SOURCES. The corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Indemnitee who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or other entity will be reduced by any amount such Indemnitee may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other entity.

Section 7. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The rights conferred on any person by this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

Section 8. SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS. The rights conferred on any person by this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 10. AMENDMENTS. Any repeal or modification of this Article shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Article in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any Indemnitee.

Section 11. SAVING CLAUSE. If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.

Section 12. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of this Article, the following definitions shall apply:

(a)     The term "proceeding" shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or not by or in the right of the corporation).
